摘要:The effects of smelting and crystallization condition on microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ91D were investigated.The results show that the holding time of melt has little effects on the microstructure of re-melting samples in permanent mold.The grain size of the alloy is firstly decreased and then increased with the increase of the holding time,resulting in the earlier increase and then decease of tensile strength and elongation of the alloy samples.The crystallization condition can affect solidification ways of the alloy.The microstructure of the AZ91D alloy is composed of the matrix phase and γ phase under the condition of equilibrium solidification while the divorced eutectic structure occurs in microstructure under the condition of the non-equilibrium solidification.
摘要:The microstructure of mullite/Al-Cu-Si composites prepared by squeezing casting was observed by ATEM.The results indicate that the mullite fibre is composed of fine grains with different size and orientation as well as uneven distribution.High density dislocation presents in quenched fibre/matrix interface and in Si phase/matrix interface near to the matrix.Interface compounds in interface of mullite/Al-Cu-Si are not found,while the non-equilibrium θ(Al2Cu) phase is precipitated in fibre/matrix interface with a higher Si content.
摘要:Si-Ca-Ba alloys have much stronger ability in deoxidation and inclusion modification.Si-Ca alloy and Si-Ca-Ba alloy as deoxidizers and nonmetallic inclusion modifications used for soft magnetic 1JHA1 alloy in AIM (air induction melting ) are investigated.It is found that gas content in trial alloy can be reduced and nonmetallic inclusion can be significantly decreased to below 0.5 grade by using Si-Ca-Ba alloys as final deoxidizer compared with Si-Ca alloy,meanwhile,spheroidized residual inclusions are more uniformly distributed in the alloy,and the alloy possesses higher magnetic properties and more uniform microstructure.

摘要:The effects of different Zr contents on the grain size and as-cast mechanical properties of the MgZn5Nd3.5 alloy were studied.Microstructural observation indicates that grain size is increased with increase in the Zr content in case of Zr content less than 0.8%,while the grain size is somewhat changed with that in case of Zr content more than 0.8%.From the mechanical property measurements indicate that Zr addition can improve as-cast tensile strength and elongation of the alloy.SEM analysis shows that alloy rupture changes from quasi-cleavage fracture to ductility fracture.
摘要:Abstract The grain growth and bending fatigue was examined for heat treated CuAlNi shape memory alloy with column crystal in heat mould continuous casting at four kinds of drawing velocity, such as 240mm/min, 360mm/min. 480mm/min. Precipitation of γ2 phase in CuAlNi shape memory alloy can be inhibited at drawing velocity more than 240mm/min, and increased to 480mm/min, the equiaxed crystal is formed in the alloy due to chilling effects acted on melt front during solidification. The critical drawing velocity during column crystal growth is observed at 360mm/min, and more than the velocity, the grain is sharply grown while less than the velocity, the grain size can be refined with increase in drawing velocity, where bending fatigue can be considerably improved by heat treatment eliminating the internal stress.

摘要:The distribution of residual stress in local Fe particle concentration region of Cu-Fe-P alloy for lead frame was simulated by a kinetic model based on the asto-plastics deformation finite element method,and the effects of Fe particles density on the residual stress of the materials were stressed.The results show that the residual stress of Cu matrix and Fe article near interface is increased with the increase of the Fe particle density.Meanwhile,Fe particle is compressed and Cu matrix is extended in the X direction while the Fe particle is extended and the Cu matrix is compressed in Y direction,which results in the increase of the stress difference between both sides of the interface,even leading to be torn of the interface and the advents of the surface peeling,influencing the properties of the Cu-Fe-P alloy.
